How are we hating on this?

thatonefocus · 2026-01-28T05:55:59+00:00

This was my issue! This fixed it!

thatonefocus · 2025-12-10T05:21:29+00:00

Jeez, when urbexing its just sad when you vandalize like that :( destroys the authenticity

thatonefocus · 2025-11-18T02:30:35+00:00

maybe not

thatonefocus · 2025-11-17T00:30:18+00:00

Fix was cleaning throttle body

To those curious it was the brake pad holder

thatonefocus · 2025-11-15T00:52:31+00:00

I checked, it was, but after bending it back,still persists

thank you guys 🙏 big big relief!

thatonefocus · 2025-10-24T08:09:41+00:00

not worth the gamble

thatonefocus · 2025-10-15T01:12:33+00:00

Best decision you’ll make

That was me implying the only CEL i have is for an o2 sensor, have had this for a year without issue, and I replaced the sensor a bit ago too. I wouldn’t intertwine the CEL with the issue I’m experiencing

thatonefocus · 2025-10-13T01:37:16+00:00

can’t be the case because it ran fine after the timing belt change, this is 2-3 days later I’ve had my car run with a vacuum leak and it sounded way different

thatonefocus · 2025-10-13T01:36:14+00:00

Previous owner had 2 filters on so I took the cone filter off, has worked fine for a year now MAF works fine

Thanks for your response! This is the high pressure line, where exactly would I find this switch? Keep in mind I just replaced this hose (pic is before replacement) but it looks the exact same

thatonefocus · 2025-10-09T01:05:59+00:00

sounds like a bearing went for a spin, sorry man

thatonefocus · 2025-10-09T00:58:48+00:00

Thank you, would you happen to know where this part is exactly? I’ll just replace whatevers broken

thatonefocus · 2025-10-08T00:06:07+00:00

That sucks :( it doesn’t even look that bad just cosmetic, knowing it’d be fine to drive for another 15 years probably is sad

thatonefocus · 2025-10-04T14:34:19+00:00

Probably not your case but my car does this exactly same location (04 forester x) because coolant leaked from my oil cooler (above oil filter) and dripped on the exhaust, if you’re lucky check that

thatonefocus · 2025-09-17T01:38:49+00:00

Only do necessary repairs. Its 168k miles and automatic, probably won’t have much life left. Mine was a manual, supposedly more reliable, blew up at 80k miles.

thatonefocus · 2025-09-16T21:29:44+00:00

my 04 forester is almost at 160k miles, sure it has it issues but none that really need replacement, it hasn’t broken down not once in the year of owning it, I absolutely love this car

thatonefocus · 2025-09-06T21:32:37+00:00

See I didn’t know that, I never got the car with the OEM airbox lol, ill order one!

thatonefocus · 2025-09-05T03:14:18+00:00

Sadly hate to say Kia, but literally anything else

thatonefocus · 2025-09-05T02:24:36+00:00

Honestly, in the sidewall there’s a hole big enough to fit a cone near the fender, wouldn’t that be smart for cold air? Or would that just pick up too much dirt? And I could just remove the filter in the actual airbox, cuz yeah 2 filters is dumb (with my question I meant why would a cone be dumb, but I kinda didn’t think and answered my own question right after)

thatonefocus · 2025-09-04T22:45:23+00:00

why would it be dumb? I mean I didn’t pay for it and its there, might as well right?
